Answer» Answer: Acceleration is defined as the RATE of change in velocity. For motion ALONG a straight line, if the velocity of the body is INCREASING with time, then it is said to be in positive acceleration. While, if the velocity of the body is decreasing with time, then it is said to be in NEGATIVE acceleration or retardation. |
